当布什总统上周宣称经济开放必然伴随政治开放时,北京和莫斯科的领导人并非仅有的反对这一观点的人。甚至一度坚决支持这一观点的自由派和保守派知识分子也不再认可这条有百年历史的理论:民主与资本主义,就像帕丽斯·希尔顿与猎奇名流的摄影记者一样,需要彼此互为生存。 When President Bush announced last week that economic opening must be accompanied by political opening, the leaders of Beijing and Moscow are not the only people who oppose this view. Even liberal and conservative intellectuals who once firmly supported this idea no longer recognize this century-old theory: Democracy and capitalism, just like Paris Hilton and the photographers of the celebrities, need to interact with each other. For survival.
